H.R. 4015, SUPPORT for New Workers Act
Summary
H.R. 4015, the SUPPORT for New Workers Act, amends the CARES Act to provide a newly employed worker allowance. Sherrill, Meijer and Spanberger introduced it in the House of Representatives on June 17, 2021, and it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. A State agency would make up to 9 weekly payments of $180 to an individual who was eligible for Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation or pandemic unemployment assistance, is no longer eligible because of earnings from commencing employment, and remains employed. The benefit period ends September 6, 2021. A State that certifies payments cannot be implemented due to administrative challenges may make a one-time lump sum payment.
